Chapter 225: Scholars
If this is the end of the story, then there will be one more missing person case and one more broken family on Earth. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
But how could the arrangement of fate be so pale.
Five years later, James' child reappeared in front of him!
The child who had brought him joy, shock, and despair had returned!
James didn't even know what attitude he should use to face him at the time, but in the end he still gave his son a hug, then he buried his feelings!
Just when he wanted to inform his wife of this happy event and reunite the broken mirror, that bad boy actually tricked him into that terrible, crazy, and miraculous city!
At first, James was angry and very resistant to everything in the City of Steel.
However, when the son brought his wife in, and even used some methods that he found incredible, completely cured his wife's mental illness, and even regained his youth for his aging wife, his view of the Steel City gradually began to change!
When he met by chance, saw the mentor who led him into the temple of science, and under the guidance of that person, entered the eighth spire, and visited the experiments that could almost subvert his three views, James's heart with a very strong desire to explore was finally ready to move again!
In the past fifty years, there has never been a moment when James' heart is so excited!
This is a city that should be burned down because it is a demon city, and because of its existence, it fundamentally subverts the human perception of the world!
However, this is also a city that is insanely fascinating, because there has never been a moment, in the face of that busy figure, in the face of that group of dazzling data, James will feel that he is so close to the truth!
"Oh my God! The basic structure of carbon is starting to change again!"
"This is the one hundred and eighty-second year of the year! If this trend continues, in the next 100 years, the earth will be harder than steel now!"
"How is this possible! How is this possible! James, have you seen it, have you seen it? This means that as long as we don't die in this upheaval, each of us can become Superman!"
An old man with white hair cheered, interrupting James's memories, who was James's former mentor, now the deputy tower master of the eighth spire of the Iron City, and the head of the Material Research Division.
James also had a smile on his face.
They are not excited about the glorious future of carbon-based life, but instinctively happy because they have cleared the fog in front of them.
James knows very well that it is impossible for human beings to become superhuman, because the change of basic elements does not affect a certain race, or a certain aspect of the world, but the whole world!
The Seventh Minaret, which is now the Mage Research Department, is mainly responsible for researching the various basic magical resources available on the earth as the environment changes.
A few years ago, there was no magical resource on this planet, except for the negligible amount of magical energy in the air.
But in the past few years, as more phantom realms have appeared around the world, this once very pure planet is indeed undergoing some kind of amazing changes.
Unlike ordinary people, the supernatural and magicians have a clearer sense of this change!
It has become increasingly difficult for the Adepts to do the same things as they used to be.
Mages want to cast the same spell, but it's made easier!
Perhaps, this change is not obvious enough, maybe for high-level abilities, wanting to destroy a building is nothing more than a matter of one or two blows, maybe the ability is also adapting to the new environment, and the future will not become weaker, but stronger!
However, this trend is indeed obvious, and the world is changing in some unknown direction!
In addition, there are details that may not even be noticed by the average Adept.
The number of high-level abilities in various countries is obviously decreasing.
Even if they make a move, these supernatural beings will deliberately control their destructive power.
It's as if something that was once clearly stipulated has gone from a piece of paper to an invisible chain tied to their necks!
Deep in the Pacific Ocean, in the dark trenches, a huge crack slowly opened up.
Like the scars caused by the movement of continental plates, or as in some movies, otherworldly monsters are preparing to invade Earth, which is the other end of the teleportation channel that has been opened?
In the chasms deeper than the dark trenches, there are no colorful particles bursting out.
It's just that from this moment on, the entire blue sea of the Pacific Ocean seems to have become a little deeper...
Three days later, a flying machine that was a little too advanced for humans on Earth hovered directly above the deep-sea rift, and Yue Pengju, who was acting with the team, looked around with a stiff and vigilant expression.
In fact, there is nothing nearby that he needs to be wary of, the aircraft itself is equipped with advanced detection devices, ten times stronger than the so-called advanced large-scale detection instruments of various countries, unless there are high-level abilities who are good at concealing approaching, otherwise nothing can escape its detection, Yue Pengju is just nervous!
Because it was the first time to participate in such a high-level operation, Yue Pengju felt very nervous!
Yue Pengju is a settler of the Steel City, and the number two person in a secret realm expedition. But the settlers are only the official inhabitants of the Iron City, and they are considered nobles compared to the general residents, but they are not really the core. And those secret realm expeditions are privately formed by the residents of the Iron City, which is equivalent to a mercenary group, and is not officially recognized and protected!
All the actions that Yue Pengju has participated in before belong to "civil activities" or "civil voluntary activities"!
An operation like this one, which is officially organized, is a "military operation" in the City of Steel, which involves some real secrets!
"Dr. Wang, what do you think of this anomaly in the energy tide of the Pacific Ocean!"
A blonde, blue-eyed English gentleman opened his mouth and spoke a round Chinese. If it were somewhere else, it wouldn't have been able to attract attention. In the City of Steel, it's not surprising at all. Because of things like language, low-level residents can use the translation machine, and more advanced residents can apply for implanted learning. Proficient in many Chinese, just a matter of a day or two.
"Hmm... It's hard to say for the time being, but the nature of seawater has changed, and pure external scanning doesn't do much. It seems that we will have to conduct a diving operation later, and we will have to conduct a full range of sampling to guess how much impact this accident will have on the earth. ”
An elderly orientalist replied.
But his answer was clearly not satisfactory to the others.
"Diving operations? Could it be that we still have to open the shield and go to the sea? This kind of thing, can't it be handed over to the automatic robot, no matter how bad it is, you can also release tasks from the platform and let others do it. ”
A short orientalist clearly objected.
If a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, if it was before, the sea will also go down.
But now that we know that there is an unprecedented tidal movement of energy on the bottom of the sea, and even the long-range detection device has lost its effect, who can guarantee their safety after they go down? I don't know what is under the water, what are these scientific researchers going down for?
The old man swept the short man coldly, compared to other scientific workers, this "senior scholar" from the same country as himself, on the contrary, has always made him a little unaccustomed, thinking that he is talented but not virtuous, although he has the ability, but he has no spirit of dedication to science, selfishness, not a qualified scientist!
He had long heard of the short man, this person had many dangerous experiments, and he would ask other intermediate and low-level scholars to do them, and he would never do it himself, even if it was easier to make accurate experimental data judgments.
"Hmph! What samples can the robot collect when it goes to the sea? There are some things, without us going out in person, where can we see the clue!"
"If the task is released from the platform, this delay will be delayed for at least half a day! We are already late! Half a day! Do you know how many variables will occur in half a day?!"
The old man was not used to him, and reprimanded him with a painful face.
The senior scholars of the City of Steel are definitely the most well-known scientists in various countries, but the qualifications of the old man are even older, if he was not tied up by the City of Steel, he would have been provided by the state long ago, and he belongs to the originator of modern science, even in the City of Steel, he is also an extremely rare "polymath", and is one of the people in charge of this investigation.
The short man pursed his lips, not afraid, and sneered:
"Then you can go down by yourself! Anyway, the mission I received this time is very clearly written, but I have the right to refuse to participate in any action involving personal safety!"
"We are all scholars in the Iron City, everything follows the principle of equivalent exchange, everyone is free, not you can command at a high level!"
"Besides, I don't know when you became the only person in charge of the team this time!"
"Do you want me to go into the water? Yes, increase the task reward tenfold, I immediately approve it with both hands!"
In the face of such an obvious provocation by the short man, the old pedant was completely outraged:
"You !!"
"You scum of the scientific community!! you should be tied to the pillar of shame of scientific development!!"
"How can our country cultivate a scum like you who is greedy for life and afraid of death!"
"You know that every second of delay we have now, we will be farther away from the truth, and it may also bring greater losses to the entire human race in the future!"
"The world is changing, and we're at the forefront!"
"Even if it's not for science, but for the survival of the entire human race, can't you be less selfish!!
The old pedant was so angry that he almost poked his fingers in the short man's nose.
